What is a computer memory RAM?
A computer memory RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It denotes a primary memory for the computer system. RAM works when we type or do a job or an event which is not saved yet. RAM can not exist otherwise it is saved in the hard drive in the computer. Therefore, whenever there is an interruption in electricity the memory is lost. Now a days, modern operating systems has the auto recovery systems to recover the unsaved memory known as cache memory.
Where data is stored in CPU?
No data is stored in the CPU. The CPU only performs arithmetic and logical operations. However, the CPU is provided with a small memory unit called cache, which rapidly feeds the CPU with data to calculate.
Difference between front side bus and back side bus?
Modern processors have two bus types: the front-side bus and the back-side bus. The back-side bus is where your cache memory lives. Cache is a very small amount of very fast memory--just a couple of megabytes. It's on a separate bus because if the CPU was making cache requests along the same bus as it was making main-memory requests, it would slow the cache down so much that having it would be pointless. It's as small as it is because (1) it's expensive as hell, (2) it generates a lot of heat, and (3) nowadays, they put a lot of it in the processor itself and they don't want the processor to be the size of a Buick. The front-side bus is where your main memory lives. (This is also the bus the computer uses to talk to the video card, hard drive, modem and all the other things your computer is running, but that's not important now.) You know when you look at a computer ad, it says "This computer has 512MB RAM!" That's main memory. It's sitting on the front-side bus. And the faster that bus runs (it hasn't run at processor speed in decades) the faster your memory calls run and the faster your computer goes. Fast is good. The bus is rated in megahertz, same as your computer used to be before they started selling GHz PCs, and 800MHz is a very fast one.
What is the shape of a volatile liquid?
The shape of a volatile liquid, or any other liquid, will be that of a fixed volume that takes on the shape of its container.
Why is it important to have an adequate amount of disk cache space when downloading multimedia objects?
Because plug-ins can store a portion of the multimedia object data in the cache and begin streaming delivery as the file downloads
Is RAM volatile or non volatile memory?
In prossesor it is volatile but in hard drive it is non-volatile.
Is the PlayStation 2 memory cards volatile or non-volatile flash memory?
The PlayStation 2 memory cards have the non-volatile and not the volatile flash memory.
Is Rom is volatile or non volatile?
ROM is non-volatile memory.
Does the hard disk offer volatile memory?
While a hard drive does have volatile memory on it in the form of a cache, the user doesn't have access to it.
What is computer memory all about and its function in a computer?
Volatile memory is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information. Non-volatile random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off. There is random access memory, cache memory, read only memory, virtual memory and flash memory.
Is a Dram a volatile or non volatile?
DRAM is a volatile memory
Is dram a volatile or non volatile?
DRAM is a volatile memory
What is volatile and non- volatile memory?
when the power is lost the data will be lost in volatile memory eg.RAM, As in the case of Non-volatile memory the data will never lost as when the power lost eg.ROM.
Explain volatile memory and non volatile memory?
Volatile memory means when the system power is off the data is lost.Where as non volatile means the data is not lost when the system is powered off.
Is cache memory permanent?
No it's not. It's volatile memory (That which looses it's data if the power is interrupted).
What is meant by volatile and non-volatile memory?
non volatile memory is memory that doesn't wipe after the computer shuts down e.g: Flash memory.
What is the different between volatile and non volatile?
Volatile memory is temporary memory that is lost when then computer is shut off (RAM). Non-volatile is permanent memory that that holds its data even when the computer is shut off (ROM, NVRAM). Volatile memory is memory that disappears after you turn off your computer RAM is a big example of that because all the memory on RAM disappears after you turn off your computer. Non-Volatile memory is memory that even if you turn off your computer it will still be there. A huge example of that is hard drive memory. volatile= disappears after the computer is turned off Non-Volatile= never disappears.
